At Rest

Deadly force
A man was at the hospital seeking psychiatric help, police said. At some point during the interaction, the man, who was carrying a knife, started to walk off and the VA officers followed him and tried to disarm him. Their attempts to disarm him were unsuccessful. The man attacked the officers with the knife, and two officers shot and killed him, at about 10:22 p.m.
